LSAT Practice Test

Which type of argument structure does the statement "The first thing did cause the second" represent?

1. Alternative explanation

2. Elimination of possible reasons

3. No other possible explanation

4. Suggest an alternative explanation

The correct answer is: No other possible explanation

The statement "The first thing did cause the second" represents the argument structure of "No other possible explanation" because it asserts that the first thing directly caused the second, leaving no room for any alternative explanations or possibilities. This argument structure is definitive and does not entertain other potential reasons or causations for the second thing to have occurred.
